      McCain Spiffing Up His Act

      With his small stature and tendency to stumble over words, John McCain struggles behind a podium, the New York Times notes. “The only time I would put him behind a podium at all” during the campaign “is when he’s announcing a policy position,” said his former communications director. McCain is now working with experts to improve his onstage presence, according to aides. More »

      Hairy Fad: Boys Dig Long Locks

      In what could be a frightening nod to the '80s, more and more boys are growing their hair out. And while most deny pop culture inspired the barber boycott, long locks can be spotted on everyone from the Jonas Brothers to celebrity tots.

      Sect Style: Flamboyant Modesty

      The women’s clothes from the Texas polygamist compound call to mind both Little House on the Prairie and prison garb. Yet there’s something elaborate, or even flamboyant, in the carefully crafted styles that set these women so distinctly at odds with modern culture, writes Robin Givhan in the Washington Post. In a sect that uses cell phones and sneakers, why not jeans and zippers? More »

      Obama, Clinton Tied With McCain

      Voters say they'd rather see a Democrat than a Republican in the White House—by a 50% to 37% margin, a new NBC/ Wall Street Journal poll finds—but when it comes to the two Democratic candidates still in the race, John McCain is going to be tough for either to beat. Barack Obama leads McCain by just 47% to 44% in the poll, while Hillary Clinton leads the Republican nominee 47% to 45%. The distinction is insignificant  because both results are within the poll's margin of error.   More »

      Shops Closed in Iran for Giving 'Un-Islamic' Do's

      Western or unconventional styles are officially out in Iran, where police shuttered over a dozen barbershops in the past 2 weeks for giving “un-Islamic” haircuts. Such practices are forbidden thanks to an edict issued in April through the barber’s union. Eleven salons for women were also closed for license violations, including tattooing, which is forbidden by the health ministry. More »
